In the blocky world of Minecraft, creating a functional and aesthetically pleasing armor storage solution is key. An armor stand isn't just about organization; it adds a touch of elegance and grandeur to your base. This guide will walk you through crafting your very own.

Why You Need an Armor Stand

Beyond simple storage, an armor stand offers quick equipment changes, a place to showcase your finest gear, and valuable inventory space savings. It truly becomes an essential part of your Minecraft base.
Crafting an Armor Stand in Minecraft
Let's craft this essential item. First, gather some sticks. Chop down any tree and you'll have plenty of wood planks. Arrange them vertically in your crafting grid to create sticks.


Next, you'll need a smooth stone slab. This requires three cobblestones, which need to be smelted in a furnace to create stone, then crafted into smooth stone. (For furnace crafting instructions, please see our separate guide.) Finally, arrange three smooth stones horizontally to create the smooth stone slab.


Here's what you need:
- 6 Sticks
- 1 Smooth Stone Slab
Arrange these items in your crafting grid as shown below to create your armor stand.

Obtaining an Armor Stand with a Command

For a quicker method, especially if you need multiple stands, use the command /summon minecraft:armor_stand
